Noctis is now on the 15th floor of the Novice Stage, fighting with two shinigami named Takayoshi Hime, and Suzuhiko Hime.
Damn it, there has to be a way to suppress the passive skill of the girl. Her dancing can heal herself and her brother, and also give a major strength buff to her brother. I also need to find a way to shatter her pendant, or there'll be no end to the shield barrier that surrounds her. Support class types may be weak in a fight, but they are the most annoying. If I can find Suzuhiko's weakness, I can change the tide of this fight.
Noctis thought as he was forced to go on the defensive, with Takayoshi getting a major buff from Suzuhiko.
Noctis counterparried and slashed at Takayoshi, their katanas making loud clanging noises as Takayoshi kept on forcing Noctis to fight defensively.
"Can't you see your situation is desperate? Give up, human. There is no way you can defeat me and my sister."
Takayoshi gloated at Noctis, as lunged straight for Noctis' ribcage, which Noctis managed to deflect with a counterparry of his own.
"Why will I, when I've already come this far? I know I still have a long way to go, but I will fight on, and I can only continue to fight on. I don't believe that both of you are unbeatable. Your sister uses nature-based healing, while you use water-based attacks with a katana enchanted with water magic. A perfect complement. However, it's a pity your sister isn't a dual type. Even a sturdy defense with no firepower will eventually crumble. "
Noctis replied back, as he realized just now that Suzuhiko is a healer with no attack power.
He should have taken out Suzuhiko right from the start so he won't have a hard time later on.
But he needed to close the distance with Suzuhiko to be able to land an effective hit on her with his katana, and he knew Takayoshi would give him a hard time trying. He needed to find a way fast.
"I can see that you're an assassin spellcaster, human. But I doubt you can cast a spell on my sister with such a great distance."
Takeyoshi taunted, as the male shikigami countered a thrust from Noctis' katana.
"Oh, really? We'll see if I can reach your sister or not."
Noctis replied, knowing that he had to find a way to buy time one way or another while chanting a perfect spell counter to Suzuhiko.
Let's see you fight with a replica of Orochi with a water dragon katana.
Noctis thought to himself as he fished out a summoning scroll with a dragon emblem emblazoned at the back of the scroll.
The scroll vanished, and a human-sized replica of Orochi in human form wielding a water dragon enchanted katana came into existence.
"I command you to attack that Shikigami."
Noctis said, pointing at Takeyoshi.
Takeyoshi, realizing Noctis' plan, tried to shake off the replica, but it was too late.
The replica already unsheathed the katana, appeared beside Takeyoshi, and started parrying without warning.
Good. With Takeyoshi distracted, it can buy me enough time to strike at Suzuhiko's plant shield barrier from this distance.
Noctis thought to himself as he started to chant.
"Oh Orochi the dragon god, grant me the power to strike down Suzuhiko's plant shield barrier."
After Noctis finished chanting, a rune with the emblem of the thunder dragon appeared in the sky.
Bolts of thunder struck at the barrier of thorny plants shielding Suzuhiko so hard that the plants dissipated and wilted right on the spot.
